When Cruise Ship Relationships Turn TOXIC: What You Need To Do
Hey sailors, Cruise ship relationships can be incredible. You meet people from all over the world, everything happens incredibly quickly, and your dates can literally involve gondolas in Venice, beaches in the Caribbean and dinner in another country. But what happens when that relationship goes wrong? Working on a cruise ship means you live, work, eat and socialise in the same small environment as your partner. So when a breakup becomes toxic, controlling or even frightening, simply blocking someone and avoiding them isn't always possible. In this video, I'm talking about the side of cruise ship relationships that we don't discuss enough. After working onboard cruise ships for 10 years — and having personally been in a situation where I had to involve ship security — I'm sharing what I think crew members should do if they find themselves in a difficult or toxic relationship onboard. We talk about: ⚓ Why cruise ship relationships become serious so quickly ⚓ Why you can feel like you know somebody incredibly well when you actually don't ⚓ How the cruise ship lifestyle can make a relationship feel more extraordinary than it really is ⚓ Cultural differences and relationship boundaries ⚓ What to do if an ex won't leave you alone onboard ⚓ Why you should document messages and incidents ⚓ When to tell your manager, HR or security ⚓ Creating a safety plan onboard ⚓ Requesting a cabin change or ship transfer ⚓ Speaking to the medical centre if your mental health is suffering ⚓ What to do if a situation becomes threatening, violent or unsafe 🚢 Subscribe for more honest videos about working and living on cruise ships. 🚢 WANT TO WORK ON CRUISE SHIPS? ---------------------------------------------------------------- Sail For Success is the step-by-step course that helps you apply, stand out and get hired.
